Woven tea towels patterns

It has been a while since I last posted but I was weaving up another mess o' tea towels using up some leftover stash yarn I had on my shelf and I wanted to wait until I had completed the second set before posting. Santa brought me a lot of yarn for Christmas, including some 50g skeins of Cascade Luna in white and 100g skeins of Cascades Luna Paints in Spring Meadows (green and blue combination).
